    PHP SESSION

    Prepared By: Prof. Disha H. Parekh


    PHP SESSION
    • A session is a way to store information (in variables) to be used across
    multiple pages.
    • Unlike a cookie, the information is not stored on the users computer.
    • When you work with an application, you open it, do some changes, and
    then you close it.
    • This is much like a Session.
    • The computer knows who you are.
    • It knows when you start the application and when you end.
    • But on the internet there is one problem: the web server does not know
    who you are or what you do, because the HTTP address doesn't
    maintain state.
    PHP SESSION
    • A session is a global variable stored on the server.
    • Each session is assigned a unique id which is used to retrieve
    stored values.
    • Whenever a session is created, a cookie containing the unique
    session id is stored on the user’s computer and returned with
    every request to the server.  If the client browser does not
    support cookies, the unique php session id is displayed in the
    URL
    • Sessions have the capacity to store relatively large data
    compared to cookies.
    PHP SESSION
    • The session values are automatically deleted when the browser
    is closed. If you want to store the values permanently, then you
    should store them in the database.
    • Just like the $_COOKIE array variable, session variables are
    stored in the $_SESSION array variable. Just like cookies, the
    session must be started before any HTML tags.
    WHEN TO USE SESSION
    • You want to store important information such as the user id more
    securely on the server where malicious users cannot temper with
    them.
    • You want to pass values from one page to another.
    • You want the alternative to cookies on browsers that do not
    support cookies.
    • You want to store global variables in an efficient and more
    secure way compared to passing them in the URL
    • You are developing an application such as a shopping cart that
    has to temporary store information with a capacity larger than
    4KB.
    STARTING A PHP SESSION
    • In order to  create a session, you must first call the PHP
    session_start function and then store your values in the
    $_SESSION array variable.
    •  Let’s suppose we want to know the number of times that a page
    has been loaded, we can use a session to do that.
    • The code below shows how to create and retrieve values from
    sessions
    STARTING A PHP SESSION – SIMPLE EXAMPLE
    • <?php
    session_start(); //start the PHP_session function
    ?>
    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    $_SESSION[“FName”] = “ABC”;
    $_SESSION[“Lname”] = “XYZ”;
    echo “First Name is: “ .$_SESSION[“FName”] . “<br>”;
    echo “Last Name is: “ .$_SESSION[“LName”] . “<br>”;
    ?>
    </body> </html>
    STARTING A PHP SESSION
    • <?php
    session_start(); //start the PHP_session function
    if(isset($_SESSION['page_count']))
    {
    $_SESSION['page_count'] += 1;
    }
    else
    {
    $_SESSION['page_count'] = 1;
    }
    echo 'You are visitor number ' . $_SESSION['page_count'];
    ?>
    DESTROYING A SESSION VARIABLE
    • The session_destroy() function is used to destroy the whole Php
    session variables.
    • If you want to destroy only a session single item, you use the
    unset() function.
    • The code below illustrates how to use both methods.
    DESTROYING A SESSION VARIABLE
    <?php
    session_destroy();
    //destroy entire session
    ?>
    Another option is unset:
    <?php
    unset($_SESSION['product_item']);
    //destroy product session item
    ?>
    DESTROYING A SESSION VARIABLE
    •  Session_destroy removes all the session data including cookies
    associated with the session.
    • Unset only frees the individual session variables.
    • Other data remains intact.
